Yes, my pastor and friend, the lovely and talented Jeff Hogan pretty much oozes creativity. We brainstormed the concept for this video a few years back. It was filmed at a local bagel shop owned by members of our church and starring the youth group, one of the youth sponsors (the pretty lady sitting in the corner), and Jason – smart Alec and drummer extraordinaire.

How often do we miss opportunities? Not necessarily to witness with a blanket “If you die tomorrow, do you know where you’re going?”, or some stupid, obnoxious tract used in lieu of actually having to speak to someone. I mean, how often do we miss the chance to just share the joy and peace that enters our lives when we surrender to Jesus? If you’re like me, not often enough…

My Heart Goes Out (Warren Barfield)She sat a table awayStaring into space in her own little worldAnd I saw a tear in her eyeLike a window to the mind of a frightened little girl

She never said a wordBut I know I clearly heardA cry for helpAnd I wanted to answerI wanted to tell her

My heart goes out to youYou don’t even know meYou don’t even knowOh, my heart goes out to youAnd I don’t know what else to doTo reach you now, my heart goes out

But I’m still glued to my chairShe’s unaware, there’s little timeAnd though my intentions are goodIf I’m misunderstood, the price could be high

I can’t fix whatever’s wrongBut if I fail to pass alongSomeone caresPrice couldn’t be greaterAnd this can’t wait till later
